In resolution 2002/13 of 24 July 2002, the Economic and Social Council accepted the Guidelines for the Prevention of Crime. In its resolutions 2004/28 of 21 July 2004 and 2006/20 of 27 July 2006, the Council requested the Secretary-General to convene a meeting of intergovernmental experts to design a Editor n information-gathering instrument on standards and norms related primarily to crime prevention. In resolution 2006/20, the Council also requested the Secretary-General to report to the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice at its sixteenth session on the use and application of United Nations standards and norms related primarily to crime prevention.
Pursuant to Council resolutions 2004/28 and 2006/20 and thanks to the financial contribution of the Government of Canada, the Intergovernmental Expert Group Meeting on Crime Prevention was held in Vienna from 20 to 22 March 2006 to develop a questionnaire on standards and norms primarily related to crime prevention. In August 2006, the questionnaire was submitted to all Member States for their reply. At the time of drafting of the Report of the Secretary-General on United Nations standards and norms in crime prevention and criminal justice (E/CN.15/2007/11), the following 42 Member States had responded to the questionnaire: Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Colombia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Hungary, Iceland, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Mauritius, Mexico, Moldova, Netherlands, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Swaziland, Sweden, Syrian Arab Republic, United Arab Emirates and United States of America. A response was also received from the International Police Association. Additional replies were received after the drafting of the Report (Austria, Finland, Kuwait, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Tunisia, Turkey, The United Arab Emirates). Replies received after the drafting of the Report have not yet been uploaded because permission to publish such replies is still pending with the respondent Governments.
The replies received from Governments described in detail efforts the Governments made in the area of crime prevention, they also contained additional sources for research and other valuable information. In order to share this information with other Governments, with researchers and with the general public, UNODC decided to publish the replies, after informing the respondent Governments.
